“I’m just glad it happened that way, that it’s not a day that he can be the star, which he loves to be,” King said of Trump. “He has to contend with that legacy on that day, regardless of how he manages it and handles it in his presentation. I hope those around him are advising him well to honor the day appropriately in his speech.”
These are challenging times that have left some people feeling hopeless because of economic uncertainty, dissatisfaction with election outcomes or pervasive violence, King said. This year’s theme is meant to inspire people by reminding them that even though her parents and other civil rights activists faced “incredible obstacles” they were able to “shift the culture” and effect real change.
